@@janetteduran9600 I had a similar problem with the plug. It actually came apart ok but after pulling out the pins for the wires coming from the motor it began to rain so I quickly buttoned up everything and waited in the house for the rain to stop. When I returned I realized in my haste I somehow ended up pulling all of the wires out of the plug and I wasn't exactly sure which wire went where back in the plug. Fortunately I have a 2nd identical unit so I removed the covers and used that plug to figure out where the wires were supposed to go in the other unit. All's well now, the unit is working like a champ again. Lesson learned, take lots of pictures before disassembling! Thanks for the video, without it, I think that little plug would have gotten the best of me.
Thanks for sharing this install. Did you use a replacement motor for the original gentec? I notice all the replacement motors on Amazon are only a 1/5 hp vs. 1/4 hp on the gentec. I’m wondering if it will make difference ?
I like that surge gaurd thing you have. My Mallard m26 doesn’t have anything. Did you add that yourself ? If you did how big of a job is it? Thanks again for showing this video.its helpful for sure.
Apparently I just looked up the last motor I replaced in our bedroom air conditioner and it is 1/5 hp. It works great. It was rated over 4 on Amazon. Hope this helps.
Surge guard thing?? Can you be a bit more specific? I do have a hardwired Southwire 50 amp surge guard. And I also have EasyStart that I installed on all of our air conditioners.
@ I’m sorry 😂I’d didn’t know what else to call it. So it’s a surge protection device? And has a digital multimeter on it as well? I like the idea of having one. I’ve only seen the ones that are like a pigtail that the shore power cord plugs into.
@@crusin73 ok that’s great to know. Because I was wondering if I should spend a lot more $ for an OEM motor or just get a replacement motor. I think I’ll just go the route you did.
I finally got the replacement blower wheel and fan blade. But looks like I’m gonna have to pull the wiring loose and lift the motor just to change them just like you showed. Unless you know of a way to do without pulling the motor loose?
Just unplug the wiring harness below the hamster wheel fan and be sure the circuit breaker inside is off. Only need to lift motor to replace fan blades. There are only 4 nuts holding it down. On mine one same size socket fit both fans and motor mounts. Not hard. Best of luck and happy New Year.
@ I think that’ll work . Because the dometic a/c on my Mallard M26 looks just like yours. I appreciate people like yourself sharing the information on this kind of maintenance on RV’s. Thanks for always responding promptly as well.
Have you tried it the way I did it in the video? if you did and still did not work, try it again after letting some wd-40 soak in to it for a while. then if it still doesn't work, I would go ahead and buy a new one. just make sure it is the right one for your model. good luck
I just replaced my fan on my Brisk Air II, but ended up with only low speed. I thought the new motor maybe had a bad high speed winding, so I purchased another new fan and installed...still only low speed. I checked all the wiring, I even switched the high and low speed (red/black) wires, and still no high speed. What am I missing? All ideas appreciated.
If hooked to a thermostat, that would be where I would check, if not I would check the wiring and the switch on the control panel on the AC unit inside.
Question: our ac works well enough. We clean it annually and filters get cleaned as needed. It seems that the ac works great in the room it is in. It no longer blows the air into the other room like it used to. I can get the other room cool, but most of the air comes from the open door. A closed door greatly decreases the cool air in the other room. Motor moves freely and spins well when unit is turned on. A neighbor tells me that the motor is stripped and therefore not spinning at full capacity. There is no weird noise when it runs. In your opinion, what do you think might be the problem of the air not blowing into other room? Do you think the motor might need replacing?
If it initially worked fine and now all of a sudden it no longer works fine, it can be a number of things. I guess my first question is do you travel or sit in one spot? If you travel, I would pull the vent covers out and check to be sure none are leaking. you can get the tin duct tape at a hardware store, if you sit, you might want to clean your condenser and evaporator. you can respond to me on my face book page. sorry for the late response, I was not notified. If you Join the group "RV Add-Ons and Modifications Group" you can reach me there
hey so my fan blades broke off and the brackets that hold the motor up broke aswell so now i need to replace is, if i turn it on the breaker goes off after about 10 seconds, do i need to buy capacitor also? my insurance is charging me 500$ deductible i was wondering if maybe i can do it myself for cheaper
Are those evaporation coil‘s that you access from the roof… Are those the same ones that I can see from inside the RV when I take the cover off? When I look up in there it’s really dirty and I can’t clean it because it’s hard to reach. So basically can I reach what I see from inside by taking off the roof cover?
yes it is much easier to reach the evaporator and condenser from removing the cover on the roof. (on this model) just remember to seal off the air conditioner at the ceiling and all power is off.
Check if the drain holes are clogged/plugged with debris. I don't see it as a drip pan however it does catch the condensation and drains it down the side of the roof (along rain gutter). Why do you think it is not working correctly?
@@crusin73 when the a/c runs it leaks into the camper where our living room tip out is. About 3 ft from the a/c. I see some water coming out of the a/c and running across the roof to the cutter and above the tip out. Trying to determine if the a/c is leaking somewhere it shouldn't or if I have a leak where my tip out is.
@@joeconter8417 have you tried removing the inside cover (where the filter is) and re-torqing the 4 mounting bolts? It could be that the A/C SEAL has started leaking.
I have a 2015 bison horse trailer with living quarters and recently found out my ac is not working but comes on. How can you tell if it needs a new motor or compacitor? And did you order your parts from Amazon
I got to ask where did you get the parts. I need the inside cover grill. Same unit and grill as this one. Going to get up there this weekend and clean the coils. They are bad bad. Since the cover grill broke there isn't any filter and it's gotten nasty. Thanks
I bought all my parts on Amazon. I first checked the Dometic website for approiate part numbers to ensure I got the correct parts. I don't know if you are going to be able to get any parts related to the freon side of the air conditioner, these are sealed units and may be an issue. Hope this helps.
@@OttoDidactic I totally agree. that is why if you noticed I am only working on the electrical side. this is a sealed system and should not be opened up on the refrigerant side. I am I am a ASE master certified truck tech. (retired), I might know a little about it. but thanks for sharing.
I got them on Amazon. Use the model number off your A/A unit to find proper fitting parts. I replaced the fan thinking I might break the old one during removal. If you did not, no need to replace.
The air conditioner needs a control board attached. then you can conect with a cord typicaly provided with the thermostst. on your new A/C (under the filter cover normaly.) it will give you part numbers for additional parts for additional functions your A/C will eccept. hope this helps.
I have the brisk air duotherm 1, capacitor was replaced a year or 2 ago (prior to me owning the camper) and the fan doesn't come on at all, I feel a slight hum when I touch the fan but even spinning the fan does nothing. Any ideas???
It's probably time to replace the fan motor and capacitor. Most of the time they're changed out together. Capacitors usually aren't very expensive. Before removing the capacitor short across all of its terminals with a rubber insulated tool like a screwdriver or lineman pliers as they are designed to store a charge that can pack a serious punch. Make sure you remove both fans from the old motor. You will probably need them on the new motor
If you aren't sure how to test the compacitor, i have a part #1 to this video that shows how I did it. If it needs replacing and if I could afford to, I would take advantage of the situation and instal a "soft start" compacitor. After checking the compacitor i would test and replace the motor if needed to.
These air conditioners are sealed units. I will not tamper with the Freon in a sealed unit. therefore I can only say Refer to the AC label on the unit. sorry for the late response, I am not currently being notified of comments on these videos. you may reach me by joining the facebook group "RV Add-Ons and Modifications Group".
@@leorael4497 if it has a quick disconnect on it, it is no longer a sealed unit and more than likely has been tampered with. if the Freon is low, there is a leak. this is the only way to loose Freon in a sealed unit. it is sealed to meet safety regulations do to it being in the sleeping quarters. personally, i would get a new one and properly install it. this is not worth the risk or the fine. you could buy 20 air conditioners for the price of the fine. sorry I can't be of more help on that issue, good luck.
Hey maybe the next time you make one of these instead of talking how about actually zooming in with your camera showing how the capacity of wired them are showing how you put the wires in the 6-pin
On the 6 pin connector for the motor to the relay, blue wire is position 1 for the connector on the diagram. Is that a flat or circle looking straight on the male connector for proper orientation? Then position 2 is black wire. Is that a flat or circle? Position 3 is a yellow wire. Is that a flat or a circle looking on the front of the male connector? I had my wires pop out on me before I could write them down or take a picture. I need proper wire orientation for the connector. The connector was just out of view on your video so I could look at it, for proper orientation.
If you go to my Facebook page RV ad-ons and modifications @RVaddonsandmods ·I will answer your question there with a copy of what I have left of the schematic decal. so as long as your air conditioner is identical to mine, this should work for you.
@@crusin73 Thank you my friend, but no need. I was able to go to a dealership and they let me on their lot and I found a same make and model. I went ahead and found the exact same AC. I pulled the plug and took pics. All working great now. Thank you for getting back to me. You have an awesome one!

Please be careful with removing the old capacitor. Some store enough charge even when disconnected to cause serious bodily injury. You're supposed to short them out across the terminals for safety. Always use insulated tools when working with equipment that uses a capacitor
